are you kidding me? according to the Public Health agency of Canada Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)/Agence de la santé publique du Canada (ASPC) Canada spends 4.3 Billion a year directly on obesity related health care. that compares to 2.5 billion on smoking related health care.

you hear that fatties!! you cost more to the system than smokers. now I ask, what about fat smokers...

similarly illegal substance abuse accounted for 8.8 billion in spending...
